"More Wars" McCain has called Sen. Obama "naive" before.
Remember this dust up in 2006. It was strange, to say the least. Maybe the old angry man holds grudges. Calling him naive for supporting a "model method" of bombing Pakistan is just as strange.

And here are three interesting lines from McCain's letter (full text of letter follows):

- “But I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party's effort to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman Senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness. Again, I have been around long enough to appreciate that in politics the public interest isn't always a priority for every one of us. Good luck to you, Senator.”

- “I'm embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble. Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won't make the same mistake again.”

- “I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurances to me regarding your desire to cooperate in our efforts to negotiate bipartisan lobbying reform legislation were sincere."

(end snip)

The letters are at the link above. They shed some light on the angry "More Wars" McCain. He is the angry one. "The public interest is not a priority for every one of us." Now how self-defining is that, Mr. "More Wars" McCain?

1. I hope he keeps it up.

I can't wait for Obama to tell McCain he was naive for trusting Bush about Iraq. That's an argument I'd love to have. Keep it up John.

Obama's secret weapon is making his opponents get frustrated and angry until they do something stupid and self destruct. Its working with Clinton and it will work against McCain.
